the weird thing is that Israel's government is being confusing - the ceasefire is meant to be lasting but they have vowed to invade Rafah anyway until Hamas is toppled.

Sounds to me like Netanyahus government wants to trade hostages to appease protesters and voters, and then continue flattening Rafah anyway.

Hamas wants a permanent cease-fire. Israel wants a temporary truce.

I suppose having your victims very publically calling out for peace, and actively trying to push for negotiations alongside other countries would "confuse" the narrative that they're supposed to be bloodthirsty animals.

"Those sons of bitches are only doing everything we asked them to in order to confuse us and make us look bad."

"Hamas! No!"

"What? What did I do?"

"Sorry, force of habit."

While I want this to end as much as most people, a ceasefire is not the same as a peace agreement. North and South Korea have had a ceasefire since before I was born, but they constantly try to scare the world into thinking it could end at any moment, WW2 ended with a peace treaty, and the Nazi regime was officially removed from power as part of the treaty.

The terms Hamas had agreed to were not immediately clear, but a senior Israeli official quickly said that the terms were not those that Israel had agreed to.

Looks like the headline matches reality.

You keep spewing totalitarian cacophony, you crazy diamond.

I wonder if those totally-bias-free media bias checker sites that folks like to use to discount leftwing news sources have reflected on any of NYT's latest propaganda?

lol nope!

Nothing quite says highly factual democratic socialism (center-left) quite like churning out one sided propaganda for an appartiting, genocidal group of ethnofascists.

These snips of headlines with a little response are nearly always misleading.

This adds nothing to the conversation.

When NYT can't properly pluralize a word that already ends with "s" in a headline...

*Hamas'

Well, what does the article say?

This must be Biden's fault somehow!

It's crazy how suddenly you guys see Hamas as the good guys all of a sudden. I can tell you about all their atrocities and rapes, but I'll just get hit back with whataboutisms. Even if you point out that there are no good guys in charge in this conflict, people downvote cause they see Hamas as heroes, which is insane.
